And I thought, oh, that's the kind of person you want to be.

And then it turned into George Carlin and Richard Pryor and Cosby.

And then Steve Martin and Saturday Night Live and National Lampoon's Animal House.

When my parents got divorced, my mom took a job as a hostess at a comedy club.

And looking back, I always think,

She sat them.

She sat them.

She didn't cocktail waitress.
